Getting the Picture on Quality Control
As product and manufacturing specifications tighten, imaging for industrial quality control (QC) faces challenges. Industry experts are turning to optical engineering as well as employing silicon advances and new architectures that boost performance to meet these challenges. They also are exploiting new wavelengths and other properties of light to reveal what before was difficult or impossible to see.

Sensor Market Set to Soar
Driven by the consumer cellphone market’s insatiable demand for fast, high-quality images, there has been substantial investment in CMOS sensor technology, resulting in products that deliver smaller pixels, higher sensitivity and lower noise at a decreased cost. This intense pressure from the consumer market has benefited other market segments, providing cheaper, more powerful image sensors and expanding possible applications including machine vision, medical imaging and security.

Sputtered Metal Deep-UV Interference Filters
Chroma Technology Corp.
Chroma Technology’s sputtered metal UV interference filters offer the highest levels of Deep UV transmission of any UV metal coated filters available. Coupled with the broad out-of-wavelength blocking provided by metal filters ( >OD4 through the Deep-IR), they’re excellent choices for transmitting UV mercury and cadmium lines from discharge lamps, excimer lamp and laser lines and nitrogen lasers.

Smart Perception is the Next Stage for Machine Vision
Intelligent robotics is one of the technological disruptions that will fundamentally alter society — both from an industrial and a social perspective. And “smart perception” is a key concept that will drive this evolution toward intelligent robotics. Indeed, in the next 20 years, micro-sized cameras will look at every angle, depth, mode or change in any given scene and report back with all relevant information.

Embedded Vision Propels Bead Inspection
Automotive designers are more frequently turning to structural adhesives as a solution for strengthening, structurally optimizing and lightweighting automotive bodies. These adhesives enable mixing material types to achieve lightweight structures while meeting goals for safety, noise, vibration and harshness. Vehicle assemblies may now contain hundreds of adhesive beads. The dramatic increase in dispensed meters of these beads is driving a need for cost-effective, real-time, 100 percent 3D bead inspection.

Military-Standard Lidar Driving Advances in Autonomous Vehicles
The requirements in certain consumer applications are becoming more stringent and closer to those of military standard (mil-spec) uses. This is particularly true in the automotive sector, where the rise of driver assistance and autonomous vehicle technology — enabled by lidar platforms originally developed for military and defense — demands performance specs more closely matching the original military specs, insomuch as driver safety is at stake.
